I’m making this post with some reservation. On the one hand, I’m excited that the world will have instant access to arguably the most complete jiu-jitsu self defense system. However, another side of me is disappointed the secret is out. Learning Javier Vazquez’s strike based jiu-jitsu system for the past few years was reminiscent of training jiu-jitsu in 1999. It was as if I had a top secret security clearance and was granted access to a high grade military weapon. Well, now everyone can crash the party. Aside from the unique perspective, the thing that sets Javier apart is the organization and attention to essential details. You are not learning “moves”, but rather a complete system of positions that seamlessly flow together.

If you view jiu-jitsu as a system for fighting, a combative art designed to keep you safe from all methods of attack then you owe it to yourself to invest in the strike based jiu-jitsu system.
